Where is a good place to learn the concepts (not just the openings themselves) of various openings? I've noticed that, as I have progressed in learning middlegame & endgame knowledge, my opening knowledge is still very poor. So far, the only openings I ever do as black are 1. e4 e5 and 1. d4 Nf6, and the only ones as white are d4 and e4. I'd like to learn about the Sicilian, the Caro-Kann, the Modern Defense, and the French Defense. As white, I'd like to learn about the Queen's Gambit, King's Gambit, the English Opening, and the King's Indian Attack. Where can I find resources on these?
If any of these openings are too advanced for my knowledge (1200 online, ~1100 blitz, and ~1300 tactics), please let me know. Thanks!
